Cannon Shooting Fifteen Mlles.
Some important experiments have been!
made at the Shoeburyness school of gun-;
nery in high angle firing. . A Ixnnlon 1
correspondent writes: I’robnl.ly no stop
' of recent years is likely to lead to greater
results, for if the experiment should be |
• repeated with the same success, it is tin- !

I and the range attained was twelve miles:
Now, if it be really possible, three

once out of four times, to throw a nine
inch shell upon the deck of a ship in
midchannel between Dover and Calais,
another proof wi(l have been given that
i in the tedious duel between gun and
armor the gun has much the best of it.
What is very important, too, is that the
heavy charges and the high angle did
not strain either gun or carnage in the
least, and one Os the offlcel's present has
! said that he believed the gun would
stand 45 degs. of elevation without in

About South American Mnsqultoes.
Some ludicrous stories are told about
adventures with tho musquitocs. 1
have been solemnly assured that very
often when they have attacked a boat
and driven Its captain and crew below
: they have broken tho windows of the
cabin by plunging in swarms against
j them and have attempted to burst in the
doors. Although this may be something
of an exaggeration, it is nevertheless
' true that frequently horses and cattle,
I after the most frightful sufferings, have
died from musquito bites on board the
I vessels. Not long ago A herd of Val
uable cattle were being taken from the
United States to a ranch upon the Mag
dalena river and became so desperate
under the attacks of the musquitoes that
they broke from their stalls, jumped into
the water and all were drowned. Pas

How the Paraguayans Fought.
■ Il was not alone the Paraguayan men
' and boys who had to bear arms in that
struggle. “Food for powder” of that
kind was soon exhausted. Then came
the women’s turn to fight, and, indeed,
from an early period of the war, mothers,
wives and sweethearts had donned the
soldier’s uniform and fought bravely in
the ranks with those they loved.
After a certain battle, when the bury
ing parties were busily pursuing their
grim work, they camo upon this bodies
of two loving companions in arms,
I clasped in a last embrace.
The head of one rested on the other's
breast, while an arm was closely drawn
round him, tho disengaged hand being
raised to stanch the life blood flowing
from a cruel gash. They looked like two
true comrades whose friendship death
: itself had not been able to sever.
That, however, was not ail their his
, tory. A wotihded mother, in a soldier's
: guise, had dragged herself to the spot
where her son lay bleeding, and there,
regardless of her own fatal injuries, bad .
placed Ids head upon her breast, and
J tried to soothe his last living moments,

Evolution of the Colored Race.
I The negro is changing in appearance
i and losing some of the birthmarks pecul
j iar to the African race. The new gen
; eration is showing the effects of a higher
i culture. Especially is this noticeable in
; the towns where contact with the whites
. shows its effect. The flat nosed, kinky
| headed negro is passing away and be
' coming an unknown race; All tho col
i ored children, ho matter how dusky in
1 hue, show the change. Among the
: females, long hair of that peculiar woolly
; appearance, hangs in long braids or curls
I down their backs. Aquiline noses and
' smaller mouths with thinner lips are the
rule. For years, and in fact ever since
! their freedom, the negresses have en
deavored to do away with the short kinky
hair bestowed upon them by their ances
tors. Much of their spare change is in
vested in various tonics and invigorators,

upon it is shown in their descendants, j

Solidifying Petrokuifn FueL
Experiments arq still being made under
the direction of the Russian government, '
( with the view of finding a process, at j
i once practicable as well as desirable on
I the .‘•core of economy and cleanliness, of ;
. solidifying the petroleum used as fuel. :
According to the report made by Dr. '
KaufTmann, who has had the principal !
1 charge of these experiments, a successful
: method of accomplishing the desired re
' suits consists simply in heating the oil
and afterward adding from 1 to 3
per cent, of soap. The latter dissolves
in the oil, and the liquid on cooling forms
i a mass having the appearance of cement
and the hardness of compact tallow. The
■ product is hard-to light, burns slowly and
without smoke, but develops much heat.
